3. No Particular Place to Go
Youth consultation project run in West London
between 2007 and 2012
Aim: To empower young people to actively
participate in the design of outdoor community
spaces through a variety of activities.
Outputs: Young people engaged gained confidence,
learnt new skills and were given resources to enable
them to play an active role in shaping their outdoor
space and provide a sense of empowerment and
ownership.
4. No Particular Place to Go Toolkit
A ‘Step-By-Step Guide’ was
produced intended as a tool for
other practitioners wishing to
engage young people in
transforming and improving
open spaces.
